Joining the 21st Century

My daughter made a CD for me and said, "Dad CDs are so 'old school'." So here I am in 2010 finally blogging.

This will be made up of finished and unfinished paintings and sketches by me and some students of my painting workshops and philosophical tidbits about why artists make art.

The simple answer about why is, 'Because I can't help it.' That's a bit pat so excluding the enormous sums of money, it must be, 'Because I have something to say.' Some say it in a song or on film and if you are reading this you know why I say it with brushes not words. Many of us second guess whether we're getting it right.

About Me

After several decades I am still making paintings and drawings and I can't seem to stop. I blame my parents. My brother and I won a prize for a painting we made at age 9 or 10 and I have always liked the attention. I studied and taught karate for 20 years and all my students still fear and obey me, I wish my kids would at least obey me.
